The state of the balloon:
When the balloon is submerged in the beaker, the amount of water in the beaker will get reduced.
What is Osmosis:
Based on the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane, water will flow through a permeable membrane in a specific direction.
<u><em>Hypertonic solution:</em></u>
It means that there are more solutes present in the surrounding environment than in the cell itself.
<u><em>Hypotonic solution:</em></u>
In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than that outside the cell.
- When comparing two solutions, the one with the larger solute concentration is hypertonic, and the one with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic. Isotonic solutions have an identical solute concentration.
- While the solution in the beaker is hypertonic, Meaning that will draw water molecules out of the cell. As water molecules move from a location of high water potential (dilute solution) to a region of reduced water potential (10% glucose solution), the water from the 5% glucose solution will flow into the 10% one (concentrated solution)
- This is the reason why the amount of water decreases when the balloon is submerged in the beaker.

The concentration of Ca2+ ions is half that of the Cl- ions.
<span>The smallest unit of a compound is called a molecule. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or the penultimate option or option "B". The other choices are incorrrect and can be negated. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>
